A teleprompter, often called just a prompter is a device that displays a prewritten text block scrolling to allow the viewer to read a speech without using cue cards or paper notes. Speech, or presidential style teleprompters. These are used in public speaking. Generally you use two so you can pan and scan the crowd while reading a speech, with one slightly offset to each side of you. It is made up of a piece of glass or acrylic at an angle, with a video monitor, generally LCD these days on the ground pointing up. The monitor displays reversed text which reflects off the glass towards the speaker's eyes. When the text reflects the image is no longer reversed. The audience behind do not see the text. You can buy these from a number of companies, generally starting at around $1000 USD. The other common style of teleprompter is a through the lens teleprompter. This is designed for someone speaking into a video camera so as to let the speaker maintain direct eye contact with the camera/ audience. Without one, a speakers eyes will drift downwards to cotes or cue cards which though it involves little movement, is very offputting to an audience. The design of a camera teleprompter is quite similar to a presidential, in that there's an LCD pointing up with reversed text, and a glass sheet at 45 degrees to it. This glass is over the camera lens. It needs to be a pretty special glass so as to prevent as much as possible light leaks from the LCD from going back to the camera sensor, whilst allowing as much as possible direct light through it unimpeded. You can buy these from a number of companies such as Prompter People, generally starting at around $500 USD. Almost through the lens camera teleprompters are used in special situations where a normal teleprompter can't go. Sometimes a Camera may have a light ring of various types around the lens, or a long complex lens which physically impedes the placement of a teleprompter rig, in these cases a monitor will often be mounted just above or below the lens for the speaker to read. This third type of teleprompter is not absolutely ideal as the eye will not be exactly at the camera, but it still represents a vast improvement over cue cards.
